In general, the nerves turned transparent within 1-2 minutes, and the cleared nerves were mounted on a microscope slide with clearing solution. The images of the whole nerve were captured at 20 ⁇ magnifications using Carl Zeiss LSM 880 confocal microscope equipped with AiryScan Fast Mode and a motorized stage, with optical sections of 1.7 ⁇ m. The images were then stitched and maximum projected using ZEN2.3 Blue Software (Carl Zeiss) ( FIG. 5A ; FIG. 6A ).
- the average number of CTB-555-positive axons were quantified by counting the number of CTB-positive axons extending across different nerve segments distal to the crushed site in 3-5 optical sections (10- ⁇ m-thick) from each mouse. The diameter of the nerve was measured at each point where the counting was performed ( FIG. 5B ; FIG. 6B ).

- One microliter of AAV-ChR2-mCherry was infused at a constant slow rate of 200 nl/min to avoid damages to the eyeball.
- Overexpression of ChR2-mCherry allows optical stimulation of the transduced RGCs under illumination at 473 nm.
- an optical fibre connected to a laser source at 473 nm was placed at the periphery of the injured eye to stimulate the RGCs, and the eye-evoked LFP amplitudes were recorded 5 in the superior colliculus using the data acquisition system (Bio-Signal Technologies) with preset analog filters (high-pass filter: 0.3 Hz; low-pass filter: 100 Hz), sampled at 100 Hz, and digitally filtered (low-pass FIR filter: 25 Hz).
- the data recorded from the system was used as digital input signals for synchronization of the optogenetics setup. Data were analyzed offline using spike2 software (Version 8) and customized MATLAB program. Root-mean-square (RMS) amplitudes after optical stimulation was calculated ( FIG. 7 ).
- the mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 can be directly applied to the injured site of patients to promote axonal regrowth after peripheral nerve injury. Also, intravitreal injections of M1 on a weekly basis successfully induce substantial axonal regrowth after optic nerve crush injury. It is thus believed that the local administration of M1 can be used as a treatment for patients with PNS and CNS injuries so as to promote axon regeneration and functional recovery.
- diaryl hydrazones described herein are useful therapeutic agents in the treatment of injured nerve cells and nerve injuries in a subject in need thereof.
Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/081,371, filed on Sep. 22, 2020, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present disclosure relates to small molecule mitochondrial fusion promoters useful in treatment of nervous system injuries and treatment of injured neurons, such as retinal ganglion cells and dorsal root ganglion neurons.
- Injuries to the nervous system often result in persistent and irreversible sensory and motor function deficits in patients. Proximal peripheral nerve injuries, such as brachial plexus injuries, require long-distance axon regeneration for target muscle reinnervation and motor functional recovery. The intrinsic growth capacity of adult peripheral neurons is very limited and the rate of axonal regrowth is slow (i.e. 1-2 mm/day). Although the peripheral axons can regenerate into their target muscles, they fail to reform functional synapses at the motor endplate for motor functional recovery largely due to prolonged muscle denervation. In the central nervous system (CNS), the absence of neuronal intrinsic growth capacity and the presence of extrinsic growth inhibitors are the major obstacle for successful axon regeneration.
- Currently, there are no effective drugs for treating patients with nervous system injuries. Surgery is commonly used for nerve repair resulting in limited functional recovery. In the adult mammalian central nervous system, neurons fail to regenerate their axons after injury due largely to the lack of intrinsic growth capacity. There is no effective treatment strategy available to rekindle intrinsic growth capacity of injured neurons in the market.
- There thus exists a need to develop new methods of treating nervous system injuries.
- The present disclosure relates to the therapeutic use of a class of diaryl hydroazones, exemplified by M1, as mitochondrial fusion promoters in axon regeneration after central and peripheral nerve injuries. M1 and its analogs can markedly increase the intrinsic growth capacity of adult dorsal root ganglion neurons in vitro and accelerate axon regeneration after in vivo peripheral nerve injuries in mice. Remarkably, intravitreal injection of M1 induced robust axonal regrowth with some of the regenerating axons reaching superior colliculus and able to elicit neuronal firing six weeks after optic nerve crush injury. It is found that M1 is suitable for use in treating patients with nervous system injuries. M1 has the structure:

Wildtype adult DRG neurons were treated with M1 at a concentration of 2.5 μM, and 0.1% DMSO was used as vehicle controls. After 17 hours of incubation, cultures were fixed and immunostained with anti-βIII-tubulin antibodies for neurite outgrowth assay.

M1 treatment did not affect cell survival of DRG neurons. Scale bar: 500 μm. (B) DRG neurons with larger mitochondria at their distal axons displayed much elongated neurites, while DRG neurons with smaller mitochondria at their distal axons displayed significantly shorter neurites. M1 treatment induced an increase in neurite extension which is associated with an increase in mitochondrial size. More than 80 DRG neurons were quantified from each treatment group.

FIG. 7 depicts data showing that the regenerated axons in M1-treated mice can conduct action potentials detected by local field potential (LFP) recordings in superior colliculus. Two weeks before LFP recordings, AAV overexpressing a fusion ofchannelrhodopsin 2 and mCherry was injected into the injured eye of the mice. During LFP recordings, the RGCs from the injured eye were optically stimulated at a wavelength of 473 nm, and the LFP amplitudes were recorded in superior colliculus. (A) While virtually no LFP amplitudes could be detected from vehicle-treated mice, M1-treated mice evoked distinct LFPs detected in superior colliculus after optical stimulation of injured RGCs. Blue lines indicated optical stimulation in the injured eye. (B) Eye-evoked root-mean-square (RMS) LFP amplitudes were automatically determined using Spike2 software with customized MATLAB program. Administration of M1 markedly elevated the eye-evoked RMS LFP amplitudes compared with vehicle-treated controls. Combination of phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten) deletion and M1 treatment further increased the RMS LFP amplitudes after optical stimulations of injured RGCs.

- A class of diaryl hydrazone mitochondrial fusion promoters, exemplified by M1, are useful in therapeutic intervention to enhance intrinsic growth capacity of adult neurons. This is an important step as successful axon regeneration after nervous system injuries largely depends on the intrinsic growth capacity of injured neurons.
- Knockout of mitochondrial fusion protein Mfn1 or Mfn2 resulted in mitochondrial fragmentation, early sign of apoptosis, which was completely restored by M1 treatment in MEF Mfn1−/− or Mfn2−/− cultures. M1 treatment protected dopaminergic neuron-like SH-SY5Y cells from 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridinium (MPP+)-induced neurotoxicity as implicated in PD pathogenesis. It was examined if shifting the mitochondrial fusion/fission equilibrium using mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 could eventually increase the intrinsic growth capacity of adult peripheral (i.e. dorsal root ganglion; DRG) neurons. The therapeutic potential of M1 in promoting axonal regrowth in adult DRG neurons was first investigated. The results demonstrated that M1 and analogs thereof can increase 49% neurite outgrowth from adult DRG neurons with no cell survival effect (
FIG. 1A ). Further analysis showed that the length of regenerating axon was directly proportional to the size of mitochondria (FIG. 1B ). - These findings were extended to in vivo studies of nerve regeneration after peripheral and central nerve injuries. 20-60 μg of M1 (in 2% DMSO) was applied directly onto the crushed site immediately after sciatic nerve crush injury, followed by a total of 6 administrations for 3 consecutive days (i.e. morning and evening administration with at least 8 hours apart) (see
FIG. 2 for detailed experimental paradigm). In line with the in vitro results, it was shown that the most distal axonal regrowth was increased by 55% 3 days after injury (FIG. 3A ). The number of regenerating axons [Growth Associate Protein (GAP)-43 positive] was increased by 2-fold as compared to vehicle controls (FIG. 3B ). These results confirmed the therapeutic potential of M1 in axon regeneration in vivo. - Next, it was tested whether mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 could also promote axon regeneration after optic nerve crush injury, a well-established animal model of CNS injury. M1 was intravitreally injected into the injured eye at
days 0, 7 (for 14 days), 14 and 21 (for 28 days), and the extent of axon regeneration was assessed atday FIG. 4 for detailed experimental paradigm). In vehicle-treated mice, there is virtually no regenerating fibers observed even after 28 days of injury. In contrast, mice treated with M1 induced robust axon regeneration at 14 (FIGS. 5A and 5B ) and 28 (FIGS. 6A and 6B ) days after injury. Some of the regenerating axons could actually reach the optic chiasm atday 28 post-injury (FIG. 6C ). In parallel, more retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were survived 14 (FIG. 5C ) and 28 days (FIG. 6D ) after optic nerve crush injury, suggesting that M1 is a potent small molecule to promote axonal regrowth after central and peripheral nerve injuries. - To evaluate whether regenerating axons are sufficient to induce neuronal firing from the superior colliculus by optogenetics approach, local field potential (LFP) recordings in superior colliculus (SC) were performed after optical stimulation in the retinal ganglion cell (RGCs) of the injured eye. To record evoked LFP in SC, mice received intravitreal injection of AAV-ChR2-
mCherry 2 weeks after crush. Six weeks after optic nerve crush injury, we stimulated the injured RGCs by placing an optical fiber with blue laser at 473 nm illuminated at the periphery of the left eye (injured). Evoked LFPs in response to the optical stimuli from ChR2-overexpressing RGCs were recorded in the SC. There were virtually no LFP amplitudes that could be detected from the vehicle-treated mice (FIG. 7A ), which was consistent with the histology results. In contrast, significantly higher LFP amplitudes from M1-treated mice (59.82±3.6 μV) compared with vehicle-treated controls (13.75±1.61 μV) (FIG. 7B ) could not be detected. By combining M1 with Pten deletion which is known to induce axon regeneration after CNS injury, significantly larger RMS LFP amplitudes from Pten-knockout (Pten-KO) and M1-treated mice (88.36±3.13 μV) compared with M1-treated mice were detected. Treating the mice with M1 and Pten deletion restored almost 25% of the maximal LFP amplitude compared with uninjured mice. - Assessing the Intrinsic Growth Capacity of Peripheral Neurons after Treating with Mitochondrial Fusion Promoter M1:
- The current study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 for treating patients with nerve injuries. First, we examined if mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 could enhance the intrinsic growth capacity of adult neurons, a critical determinant for successful axon regeneration after nerve injuries. We used primary cultures of axotomized dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons as an in vitro model to assess the extent of neurite outgrowth after treating the neurons with mitochondrial fusion promoter M1. Primary cultures of DRG neurons were prepared from adult C57BL/6 mice (8-12 weeks old). The DRG neurons were first dissected out, digested with collagenase/dispase II solution (Roche Diagnostics), trypsinized and dissociated mechanically by three flame-polish Pasteur pipettes with different diameters. Two thousand DRG neurons were plated onto a poly-D-lysine and laminin-coated 8-well chamber (Millipore), and cultured in full Neurobasal medium (Gibco) supplemented with B27, 200 mM L-glutamine, penicillin-streptomycin, 50 ng/ml NGF (Gibco), 10 μM Ara-C and 2 ng/ml GDNF (Gibco). Mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 was first dissolved in 100% DMSO, and added into the cultured neurons at a final concentration of 2.5 μM one hour after plating. 0.1% DMSO was used as vehicle controls.
- After growing the cultures for 17 hours, the cultured neurons were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), blocked with 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA)/0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 1 hour, and incubated with anti-βIII-tubulin primary antibodies (1:800, Sigma Aldrich) for overnight at 4° C. After washing with PBS for three times, the cultures were incubated with corresponding secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 (1:300, Molecular Probes) for 1 hour.
- For neurite outgrowth assay, 30 non-overlapping images were captured at 10× magnifications using Nikon Ni-E epifluorescence microscope equipped with a motorized stage. Total neurite length of each neuron from each condition were automatically measured using WIS-NeuroMath software (Weizmann Institute of Science). At least 250 neurons were quantified from each condition to obtain the average total neurite length. Data were obtained from three separated experiments repeated in duplicates (
FIG. 1 ). - Animal Model of Peripheral Nerve Injury:
- We performed sciatic nerve crush injury (an in vivo animal model for peripheral nerve injury) on adult male C57BL/6 mice (8-12 weeks old) to assess the extent of axon regeneration after peripheral nerve injury. All mouse husbandry and euthanasia were in compliance with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) guidelines. Surgical procedures performed were in accordance with protocols approved by the City University of Hong Kong Animal Research Ethics Sub-Committee and Department of Health, Hong Kong SAR. The mice were first anesthetized with 2.5% isoflurane, and the left sciatic nerve was exposed. After separating the nerve from the surrounding connective tissue, the left sciatic nerve was crushed with 5/45 smooth forceps (Fine Science Tools) for 15 seconds at the level of external rotator muscles, just distal to the sciatic notch.
- Treatment Paradigm of Mitochondrial Fusion Promoter M1 after Peripheral Nerve Injury:
- Mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 was first dissolved in DMSO, and 20-60 μg (at a final volume of 30 μl) of M1 was directly applied on top of the crushed site immediately after sciatic nerve crush injury, followed by a total of 6 administrations for 3 consecutive days (i.e. morning and evening administrations per day with time interval of 8 hours apart) (see
FIG. 2 for detailed experimental paradigm). - Assessment of the Extent of Axon Regeneration Following Peripheral Nerve Injury:
- We first confirmed the growth-promoting effects of mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 using sciatic nerve pinch test. The results from sciatic nerve pinch test were subsequently verified by quantifications of GAP-43-
positive regenerating axons 3 days after sciatic nerve crush injury. - Sciatic Nerve Pinch Test:
- Following the completion of dosing paradigm of M1, sciatic nerve pinch test was performed on the
ipsilateral nerves 3 days after sciatic nerve crush injury. Under deep anesthesia (2.5% isoflurane), the left sciatic nerve was exposed to mid-thigh level, and the mice was gradually recovered from anesthesia which allow them to respond from pinches. Under light anesthesia (i.e. 1% isoflurane), a series of pinches were directly applied to the ipsilateral nerve from the most distal site (i.e. trifurcation), moving proximally towards the crushed site using 5/45 smooth forceps (Fine Science Tools). The distance (in mm) was recorded from the crushed site to the most distal point of the nerve where initial withdrawal response was generated after pinching (FIG. 3A ). - Quantification of Regenerating Axons and Retinal Ganglion Cell (RGC) Survival after Optic Nerve Injury:
- We used cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) to anterograde label the regenerating axons after optic nerve crush injury. Three days before termination, 5 2 μg of Alexa Fluor 555-conjugated CTB (i.e. CTB-555) was intravitreally injected to the injured eye using a glass micropipette inserted to the periphery of the retinae. After 3 days of injection, the optic nerves were dissected out and post-fixed with 4% PFA. The nerves were first incubated with increasing concentrations of ethanol (i.e. 50%, 80% and 95%) for 20 minutes with constant agitation at room temperature, and incubated with absolute (i.e. 100%) ethanol for overnight at 4° C. On the next day, the nerves were incubated with 100% hexane for 3 hours to remove any remaining water droplets in the nerves. Finally, the nerves were cleared with benzyl alcohol and benzyl benzoate solution at a ratio of 1:2. In general, the nerves turned transparent within 1-2 minutes, and the cleared nerves were mounted on a microscope slide with clearing solution. The images of the whole nerve were captured at 20× magnifications using Carl Zeiss LSM 880 confocal microscope equipped with AiryScan Fast Mode and a motorized stage, with optical sections of 1.7 μm. The images were then stitched and maximum projected using ZEN2.3 Blue Software (Carl Zeiss) (
FIG. 5A ;FIG. 6A ). - To determine the extent of axonal regrowth after treatment of mitochondrial fusion promoter M1, the average number of CTB-555-positive axons were quantified by counting the number of CTB-positive axons extending across different nerve segments distal to the crushed site in 3-5 optical sections (10-μm-thick) from each mouse. The diameter of the nerve was measured at each point where the counting was performed (
FIG. 5B ;FIG. 6B ). The estimated number of regenerating axons (Σad) extending to the distance d, was calculated using the formula as shown below: -
Σa d =πr 2×[average axons/mm]/t -
t=thickness of the section (i.e. 10 μm) - To determine RGC survival after optic nerve crush injury, the eyeballs from both contralateral and ipsilateral side were dissected out, post-fixed with 4% PFA, cryoprotected and frozen in O.C.T. compound. The eyeballs were cut longitudinally into 20-μm-thick serial cryosections, blocked with 0.5% BSA/0.5% Triton X-100 for 1 hour, and incubated with anti-RBPMS primary antibodies (1:500, Abcam) for overnight. After washing with PBS, the cryosections were incubated with Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:300, Molecular Probes) for 2 hours. For each section of retina, 2-3 images were captured at 40× magnifications using Carl Zeiss LSM 880 confocal microscope equipped with AiryScan Fast Mode and a motorized stage. The number of RBPMS-positive RGCs were manually counted from every fifth sections from both contralateral (i.e. uninjured) and ipsilateral (i.e. injured) retinae (3-5 sections per retina), respectively, using ImageJ software with Cell Counter plugin. The percentage of RGC survival in the ipsilateral retinae was normalized with the mean number of RBPMS-positive RGCs from the contralateral retinae of the same mice (
FIG. 5C ;FIG. 6C ). - Optogenetic Stimulation of RGCs and Local Field Potential (LFP) Recordings from Superior Colliculus
- To optically stimulate the RGCs in vivo, AAV expressing a fusion of channelrhodopsin-2 and mCherry (AAV-ChR2-mCherry) at viral titre of 1×1013 vg/ml was injected intravitreally into both eyes two weeks before optogenetics experiments. For intravitreal injection, a micropipette was gently inserted into the peripheral retina of the eye, just behind the ora serrata, placed with an angle to avoid damages to the lens. One microliter of AAV-ChR2-mCherry was infused at a constant slow rate of 200 nl/min to avoid damages to the eyeball. Overexpression of ChR2-mCherry allows optical stimulation of the transduced RGCs under illumination at 473 nm.
- For LFP recordings in superior colliculus, a midline skin incision was performed on anesthetized mice to expose the skull, and craniotomy was performed at 5 mm lateral and rostral to the lambda suture of the right hemisphere. A 16-channel recording microelectrode was placed on the cortical layer of the superior colliculus and grounding electrode was placed on the frontal bone. After cleaning and application of eye gel to the injured eye, an optical fibre connected to a laser source at 473 nm was placed at the periphery of the injured eye to stimulate the RGCs, and the eye-evoked LFP amplitudes were recorded 5 in the superior colliculus using the data acquisition system (Bio-Signal Technologies) with preset analog filters (high-pass filter: 0.3 Hz; low-pass filter: 100 Hz), sampled at 100 Hz, and digitally filtered (low-pass FIR filter: 25 Hz). The data recorded from the system was used as digital input signals for synchronization of the optogenetics setup. Data were analyzed offline using spike2 software (Version 8) and customized MATLAB program. Root-mean-square (RMS) amplitudes after optical stimulation was calculated (
FIG. 7 ). - According to the present invention, the mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 can be directly applied to the injured site of patients to promote axonal regrowth after peripheral nerve injury. Also, intravitreal injections of M1 on a weekly basis successfully induce substantial axonal regrowth after optic nerve crush injury. It is thus believed that the local administration of M1 can be used as a treatment for patients with PNS and CNS injuries so as to promote axon regeneration and functional recovery.
